Out of space map gen bug

[rubenwardy]

I am going to try and add a fail safe for the map gen bug that happens when there is no hard drive space left.

I am in server.cpp, in the map saving part, at line 246. (is this the right line?, is there a better place?)

What i would like to know is how much space should there be less than to start the gracefull exit?

I think 50 KB is about right.

What is the problem?

the blocks are not saved properly, and so the map generator thinks the block is blank, and so re-generates

Update

I have done a temporary solution, but it might not be enough.

I would like someone (a developer) to make a fix for the core

I don't think many people will know how to help you here

Try maybe in function SaveBlock in map.cpp, and 50kb is safe i think

I will do a c++ safer version

Look through the Redcrab 0.4.4 server forum thread, around September last year

Where's the "Thank you!" button?
I'll go and check that out. Thanks.
